3rd gen guys help!

my brother in law drove down to our house last night about 350km his truck slowly replaced all the oil with diesel through I guess a injector or a injector tube/o ring. The crankcase is completely full of diesel to the point it comes out the oil breather tube hence why he ran out of fuel.

Any thoughts as to what went wrong and what kind of damage we are looking at, thankfully he is under warranty.

Yes he got the infamous stuck injector.

It gets towed from your place to the dealer. Sorry.

I wouldnt worry too much about danage other then the faulty injector. My buddy has popped 4 of them and flooded the crank case every time. Diesel has lubricating qualitys unlike gas. should be ok
